As we are on the subject of the .3  rotary engine..... I can't help but
wonder what happened to the Suzuki 500 CC RE5 motorcycle..... It came out
around '76 and was on the market for a couple of years and vanished.......
Was this a good engine?   Was it a Suzuki  design, or was it a Sachs or
something.    What was the power?  the weight?  did it have aluminum side
housings? rotor?   Was it liquid or air cooled?   As I recall... perhaps
incorrectly it was a single rotor........   Somebody around here no doubt
knows something about them.......  seems like a potentially useful UL
engine..........   Not everybody needs or wants 300 HP.

                                                                    H.W.

Search the web. There is a whole Suzuki rotary sub culture. One of my hangar mates
has one. Water cooled one huge rotor. Suzuki  design. All I know.
